Practice of the day- BB pg 6- Ch 1- Bill’s Story: The remorse, horror and hopelessness of the next morning are unforgettable. The courage to do battle was not there. My brain raced uncontrollably and there was a terrible sense of impending calamity. I hardly dared cross the street, lest I collapse and be run down by a early morning truck, for it was scarcely daylight. An all night place supplied me with a dozen glasses of ale. My writhing nerves were stilled at last. A morning paper told me the market had gone to hell again. Well, so had I. The market would recover, but I wouldn’t. That was a hard thought. Should I kill myself? No—not now. Then a mental fog settled down. Gin would fix that. So two bottles, and—oblivion. -Tom- That is very similar to my story of my last few months of drinking to live and living to drink. Getting to oblivion was the goal, and I did, only problem is I couldn’t stay there and had to start the living Hell all over again, and again, and again, and again. Early sobriety was the hardest thing I’ve ever done my entire life. They told me it was supposed to be hard, that was normal. But my sponsor said He guaranteed I could do it if I just kept doing the basics everyday: -Gratitude list -Communication with my Higher Power -Do my Step Work -Go to a Meeting -Talk with my Sponsor My sobriety requires a daily commitment, and, if you are like me, I suspect yours does too. I am responsible for my own sobriety. Not my sponsor, family, friends, I am responsible to do the Work. I pray that today I remember where I come from, so I don’t have to go back.
